I was thinking out loud.
I hope I'll be able to come up with a solution to this problem
(i.e. maybe scan *twice* for problematic PCI IDs, once to detect the
chipset and once for finding out about the *real* chip, e.g. by
searching for other IDs on the board that indicate such-and-such chip)
We could also add an "advice" string for each entry in the pci_adapters list
maybe.
That way we could print some warnings/hints for certain adapters.
(such as "try using it87 chip driver for misdetected SiS 8895 modules")
